Also, taking place alongside Animfx is the 2008 Conceptart.org workshop - the first one to appear in the Southern Hemisphere.

It will be a 3 day intensive, hands on workshop for concept artists, 2D / 3D and animators.

Link doesn't work. It should be http://www.animfxnz.com/
It's really a pity Animfx and Conceptart workshop are on exactly the same time or I would have gone to both.

There will be some shared events, like the party on Saturday night which you can purchase a ticket for shortly (comes with the Animfx registration), and the expo hall will be accessible to workshop attendees.

We looked at putting them one after each other, but decided the audience for the concept art workshop would be different to those interested in Animfx, which is more business and networking focused. Both events are in the same building so there should be a lot of mixing opportunities as well.
